Four points from my coffee flying:
1. Last night I was on not to fly, but to watch and listen on the range channel. I moved around base to base, switched sides, and alike - and I think we can all do better than what I saw.
2. Channel 1 is a perk of the AvA. It allows countries to see the text from the other side without having to tune any channel, just like Aces High was years ago. HTC had to disable channel 1 because the banter and unprofessional conduct of their clients was getting out of hand.
3. We don't want to disable channel 1. We also don't want to chase ANYONE out of any arena. It's everyone's subscription and everyone is entitled to play the game with respect and conduct themselves any way they want as long as it doesn't negatively impact another subscribers experience.
4. If we have to disable channel 1, we've lost. Everyone looses. If we have to start ejecting and reporting players, we've lost again. The last thing we want is to setup an admin schedule to police the arena - because by then no one will want to fly here.
I don't think the AvA staff and fellow players are asking much, we all want to enjoy the AvA as much as everyone else. But please, try to remain respectful of one another. It goes a long way to show all the MA regulars how much better our arena is. :D

you did an excellent job last night, keeping things civil and under control sir. many thanks.

its pretty simple in there. if you got nothing nice to say, don't say anything. if someone is being wise, turn the other cheek and be the bigger man. i think that would pretty much squelch it. as long as someone can get a response out of you, you will always be fair game. so take the fun out of it. don't respond.

i think Fork got mad at me lastnight, i think he thought i was being mean to someone when in fact i was trying to encourage him to stay and have fun, telling the guy to find a wingman to fly with (that's the way you fly in there) and i think that's when Fork came on and maybe thought i was belittling him, heck i don't know , I'm the last person that would ever smack talk if those of you that have flown around me would know, crap theres no need to I'm 50, i play for fun and making friends
-
No zoom, you were fine last nite. Smacktalk is fine amongst friends - you should see how us admins treat one another. :D
But smacktalk to someone you don't know, or don't like is bullying. And it's not respectful to other players. All that i'm asking is for everyone to be respectful to one another. Nothing more. Nothing less. :salute

You get what you give. I have proven it time and time again...ask anyone who knows me.

I've started using squelch the last few nights on the same couple problem children & my game time has become much more enjoyable & fun again.

I'd post a screenie to prove the point I've been talking about the last few weeks, but some may think it lame. The "problem children" are no problem for me. Some of the other "regulars" however...

Meh, be as popular as me - no one talks to me, good or bad....I feel so.......ignored :D ;)
Seriously tho, I dont get a lot of time to fly, so when I do get in, I ask where I'm needed to die..errr, fly. If I dont get an answer, I tend to drop back offline. (Yes, I know, I'm old, cranky, childish and the worst pilot ingame)

psh.. let me know when you can get on G. I'll try to hang with ya.
As far as the rest of the 'stuff' I, thankfully, have a mental filter I can turn on. Trash talk me all ya like and I'll just chuckle and drive on. Frankly I think it reflects on a persons character when they engage in or allow themselves to be sucked into it. Everybody makes mistakes in life but I live by the three strike rule. Once is a mistake, twice is a habit, and three times is a character flaw. I'm pretty forgiving the first and second time. On three I slap an ignore on that person and go do my own thing.
But that's me, I'm weird (not like THATS news).

i was lucky though. i was at the right place at the right time. it took a bit of patience, as the jet drivers would normally put nose down, and run. why, i dunno, as they're free, but they did.
crazy8s and i almost got one the other night.....he finally bugged out when it became obvious that he wasn't gonna tag either of us.....in the end of that engagement, he had 2 38j's and a 51b chasin him.
like i said before though....i'd be more than happy to try to show ya what i know....but ya can't have my mode 17 blender. :neener:
